Love is patient
Love is kind
It does not envy
It does not boast
It is not proud
It is not rude
It is not self-seeking
It is not easily angered
It keeps no record of wrongs
Love does not delight in evil
But rejoices in the truth
It always protects
Always trusts
Always hopes
Always perseveres
Love never fails
When I was a child
I talked like a child
I thought like a child
I reasoned like a child
When I became an adult
I put childish ways behind me
Then, I saw but a poor reflection
As in a mirror
Now, I see face to face
Then, I knew only in part
Now, I know fully
And I am fully known
And now these three remain
Faith
Hope
Love
But the greatest of these is
Love
1 Corinthians 13
